Aquila Alberto (15 August 1934-25 April 1968) was an Operation 40 leader.

Biography
Aquila Alberto was born on 15 August 1934 in Guantanamo, Cuba, and he moved to the United States after serving in President Fulgencio Batista's army in the Cuban Revolution of 1959, which overthrew Batista. Alberto hated the new government of Fidel Castro, so the Central Intelligence Agency recruited him to lead a team of Cuban exiles against the government in Operation 40. In 1968, they launched Operation Marcos in Havana and killed 75 Tropas, although Alberto was killed in the firefight.
